    I have used the ash dump valve a couple of times, it helps increase airflow if you need hotter temps or help getting a log going.

    I would definitely recommend the tuning plates. Immediately after firing it up I was able to adjust the two tuning plates for a 5° difference from left to right.

    The wait is finally over. Actually went and picked it up from Craig a couple of weeks ago. First cook was beef back ribs and pork spareribs. Cooks great, still trying to adjust to the learning curve of using an offset.

    Still have over a month to go. As for my first cook, I was wanting to do a brisket but I'll probably get to know the pit a little better before I throw an expensive cut of meat on there. So I'll probably do some spareribs or pork butt.

    Smoking Wood

    My fellow Oklahoman's. Does anyone have any recommendations for good smoking wood here locally? I'm about to move to Yukon but don't mind driving a bit if the price is right and the wood is of good quality and properly seasoned. I'm looking for pecan splits for my offset primarily. I've checked...

    I was thinking about having my firebox built like one of Chudd's pitts that has a charcoal grill built in above the firebox. Any thoughts on whether that's a good idea or waste of time and money?

    Does that leak at all between the double doors since there's no flange to seal it? I'm opting for a single door with counterweight.

    How hard is it to move that thing around? I imagine it's not going to be easy to load it on on trailer and then move it to my back patio.

    After years of using charcoal smokers I finally pulled the trigger and decided to go with a good backyard offset smoker. After thorough research I was just about to buy a 20" Horizon when I stumbled across a YouTube video that mentioned a pit builder based out of Tulsa, OK. I live in Oklahoma so...

    Used 22.5 WSM First Cook

    So I've been saving up to get a new 22 and by chance stumbled across this used one for $180. The only thing wrong with it was the thermometer was broke so I've already ordered a tel-tru to replace it. This smoker almost looked new. Been cooked on maybe just a few times. With that money I saved I...
